Nils Politt sprintet auf den 10. Platz bei Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
Beim ersten der flämischen Klassiker der Saison ging es von Gent über 200 km, 13 Hellinge und 9 Kopfsteinpflastersektoren nach Ninove. Trotz eines maximalen Vorsprungs von fast 9 Minuten wurde die 5-Mann Ausreißergruppe gleich vor dem dritten Anstieg des Lebergs von einer starken Gruppe, unter ihnen Alaphilippe, Ballerini und Van Avermaet, eingefangen. Nach einem erfolglosen Angriff von dem Weltmeister wurde diese kleine Gruppe auf den ersten Metern der Mauer von Geeradsbergen zurückgeholt. Es kam dann zu einer Reihe von Attacken, wobei Moscon sich vom Feld lösen konnte, wurde aber am Gipfel des Bosbergs von einem ziemlich großen Verfolgerfeld wieder geschluckt. Es befanden sich immer noch mehrere schnelle Männer im Feld, und es sah so aus, als ob das Rennen unerwarteterweise in einem Massensprint entschieden werden würde. Nils Politt war für BORA – hansgrohe auch mit dabei und konnte sich auf den letzten Kilometer noch weiter nach vorne in eine gute Position manövrieren. Im Finale konnte der Deutsche letztendlich auf den zehnten Platz sprinten. Teamkollege Marcus Burghardt, der heute mit weniger als 50 km bis zum Ziel in einen Sturz verwickelt war, musste das Rennen leider aufgeben, und wird für das morgige Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne durch Maciej Bodnar ersetzt.

Reaktionen im Ziel
„Het Nieuwsblad wird nur selten in einem Massensprint entschieden, und das Finale war ziemlich schwer. Am Ende waren immer noch viele schnelle Fahrer mit dabei und die letzten Kilometer waren wirklich hektisch. Aber ich muss sagen, das Team hat einen ausgezeichneten Job gemacht. Es gab ein paar Probleme am Molenberg, wo keiner vorne war um die Nachführarbeit zu übernehmen. Aber am Ende haben alle eine wirklich tolle Leistung hingelegt und ich bin mit meiner Top-10 Platzierung sehr zufrieden.“ – Nils Politt
„Unsere belgische Frühjahrskampagne begann mit einem harten Rennen, bei dem wir unser Bestes gegeben haben. Nils Politt war heute unser Leader und wir wollten uns auf ihn konzentrieren und ihm die Möglichkeit geben, in der bestmöglichen Position zu sein, um mit um den Sieg zu kämpfen. Nach dem Molenberg war er nicht in der besten Position, der Gruppe um Alaphilippe zu folgen, aber das Team investierte dann, die Lücke zu schließen, ein Beispiel von guter Zusammenarbeit. Im Finale sprintete er auf den zehnten Platz und ich glaube, das ist das beste Ergebnis, das wir unter den Bedingungen heute erreichen konnten.“ – Steffen Radochla, Sportlicher Leiter

2019 AMGEN TOUR OF CALIFORNIA WOMEN’S RACE
empowered with SRAM:

Over three days from May 16-18, the elite field of 16 teams comprised of 92 riders representing 21 countries will compete over a 177-mile course for the first time exclusively in Southern California, including the race start in Ventura, the “Queen Stage” from Ontario to the summit finish atop Mt. Baldy, and the overall race conclusion from Santa Clarita to Pasadena. Seven of the world’s current top-9 UCI ranked women’s teams will compete in the three-day road race, including top-ranked Boels Dolmans.
The only UCI women’s stage race on the continent, and fifth longest of the 23 UCI WorldTour races, America’s Greatest Race will showcase Boels Dolmans’ Olympic gold medalist and current World Champion Anna Van der Breggen (2017) and the top-three finishers in last year’s edition including California-based reigning race champion Katie Hall (2018) returning to compete along with six current National Road Race Champions.
The elite field will include former World Champions Lizzie Deignan (2015/Trek-Segafredo) and Chantal Blaak (2017/Boels Dolmans); WNT Rotor Pro Cycling Team‘s German rider Lisa Brennauer and Cogeas Mettler Look Pro Cycling Team’s Amber Neben, who both hold multiple World and National Champion titles.
Starting off in their hometown of Ventura, Calif. sisters Kendall Ryan (Team Tibco Silicon Valley Bank) and Alexis Ryan (Canyon Sram Racing) will try their home court advantage on a punchy stage that includes 5,000 feet of climbing and ends with an unforgiving ascent to Serra Cross over gifted climbers Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (CCC – Liv) and Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon Sram Racing), who took third place at last year’s race.
Astana’s Arlenis Sierra (Astana Women’s Team), who claimed the green jersey at the 2017 California event and a stage win in Sacramento last year will return, as will Trek-Segafredo U.S. riders Tayler Wiles, who placed second in last year’s edition, and Ruth Winder, who claimed a stage at the 2018 Giro d’Italia Femminile.
The world will watch to see what the field’s upcoming cyclists have in store, including 2020 Tokyo Olympic hopefuls Emma White (Rally UHC); Chloé Dygert (Sho Air TWENTY20), who set a World Record on the track for individual pursuit last year; and Tustin, Calif.-based speedster Coryn Rivera (Team Sunweb), who at age 26 holds 72 national titles and a 2017 stage victory in California.
With equal prize money being awarded each stage, the final three stages of the men’s Amgen Tour of California event run consecutively beginning with a stage finish in Ventura Thursday making it the only multi-stage men’s and women’s duel event on the UCI WorldTour calendar.

@Oran Kelly Kendall Ryan Team TIBCO Silicon Valley Bank
« I’m really excited the race is in Ventura. I know the finish line like the back of my hand; I know every pothole and crack in the road. »
The women to be awarded as much as the men
For its 12th edition, the Amgen Tour of California women’s race empowered with Sram will award the men and women equally.

Stage 1:
Ventura, Thursday, May, 16th 2019 –The wind and challenging hills saw the peloton shatter and reform many times over, including on the final climb to the finish. As the teams were organizing to launch their sprinters to the line, World Champion Anna van der Breggen of the Boels Dolmans Cycling Team attacked and ran away to a solo victory despite a wicked headwind. Van der Breggen is a returning race champion, having won the event in 2017.

Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step), winner of La Flèche Wallonne: “Last year, it was my first big victory, ahead of a huge champion, it was a very special win that I’ll never forget. Now I’ve confirmed it’s one of the races that suit me the most. I felt strong expectations after my victory last year and with the fact that I’ve always been on the podium since the first time I came here. I tried to get away from the pressure after my good run early this season, to only focus on what I and the team had to do. It was harder than last year. It’s the kind of day that usually gets me very quickly pissed off, so I’m very happy. With the wind, it was very nervous from the start, it was mentally exhausting. On the final circuit, a rider in front of me did a bit of non-sense and he broke three wires on my wheel so I had to stop to change my bike and we were close to the finish… But we’ve done it all perfect with the team. I’m very happy.”

Huy, Wednesday April 24th 2019 – Like on the four previous editions, but this time with the World Champion’s jersey on her shoulders, Anna van der Breggen conquered the Flèche Wallonne Femmes for a fifth time.

QUOTES
Speaking seconds after the finish, a victorious Anna van der Breggen said: “I have no idea why I decided to attack from so far out but I just felt good at that moment – the steep sections were perfect for making a difference. To win the race today comes from circumstances: it was a quite epic race, maybe the hardest race I’ve ever done. At the finish I was feeling strange and empty; it means a lot to me to win the Strade Bianche.”
